What is generally, the first action in extinguishing an LFG fire caused by escaping gas?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option B — shut off the leak
Standard firefighting doctrine for liquefied flammable gas (LFG) dictates that the primary action is to isolate and shut off the source of the leak. Extinguishing the flame without stopping the gas flow allows unburned gas to accumulate, creating an extreme explosion hazard.
